Capturing love never fails to leave me in awe! Every couple I work with brings a unique touch to their celebration, and I adore how their personalities shine through every detail. I recently photographed Illari and Mike’s Greek Peak Mountain Resort wedding, and let me tell you, it was incredible. I was struck by how they took everything at their own pace – including taking time for photos and spending quality time together. It’s not easy to achieve on a tight wedding schedule, but these two did it effortlessly. Capturing those precious moments, whether they were stealing quiet glances or surrounded by loved ones, was an absolute joy. It’s couples like Illari and Mike that make my job a true celebration of love!
Starting a wedding day, photographing a couple’s getting ready moments is always amazing, as they brush off multiple layers of nervousness and joy, preparing for the big day ahead. This was no different for Mike and Illari’s wedding day. Soaking in all the love surrounding them, they were radiating happiness. Illari looked stunning in her wedding dress, and Mike, all dapper in his suit, couldn’t contain his excitement. They had a beautiful first look. Witnessing Mike’s expression change from anticipation to overwhelming happiness as he saw his bride for the first time was truly a moment to remember!
I loved how we weren’t rushed during our photo session – we even had some extra time to spare. It was clear that this meant more than just getting some good shots. This was an opportunity for them to take a beat and enjoy the moment before the ceremony began. We explored the stunning scenery of the venue, using it as a backdrop for the couples portraits. The lush greenery and the beautiful weather set the perfect stage for their love to shine. Illari and Mike were the epitome of romance, nailing every pose with ease and grace.
It was a beautiful day at the Greek Peak Mountain Resort for Mike and Illari’s union! The setting was perfect – an outdoor ceremony under a gorgeous wedding arbor decked in stunning florals and draped in elegant white cloth. And, to top it all off, the stunning hills in the background only added to the natural beauty of the entire moment. Mike and Illari looked absolutely radiant – capturing the joy and excitement they were both feeling was so much fun! And when they said their ‘I do’s’ under the arbor, it was pure magic.
And it just got better as the couple’s fur baby came to pose for a few quick photos. I had a blast capturing every moment, and when Illari jumped on Mike’s back for a cute and playful shot, it was the cherry on top of an already perfect day. The newlyweds had a stunning reception filled with laughter and joy, and I loved how they ate dinner together alone during cocktail hour to have one-on-one time and still chat with their guests! From the enchanting first dance to the wonderful cake cutting, I couldn’t stop capturing the beautiful smiles that everyone had on their faces.
Illari and Mike, thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer. It was truly a celebration of love and an honor to be a part of. I had a great time documenting those special moments of your wedding! May your journey be filled with endless joy, laughter, and beautiful memories. Congratulations and cheers!
